Shots 2/10
Bring On The Crazy Dance!
Last round, every night when we did shots, both DaddyO and I gathered together and marveled at what we were trying to accomplish as I mixed the drugs and shot myself in the belly with them.
This time, me: “it’s 7:30. I’m gonna try and knock myself up.”
Him. From the couch. In front of the ball game. Not even looking up from his ipad. “ok honey”.
This time, skipping the lupron and going straight for the gonal-f and menipour has been a lot easier. At least so far. Last time I remember having headaches, mood swings and passing out early every night after dinner almost immediately after we started the shots. This time, and I know we’re only two shots in, but I don’t feel a thing.
(flash to: head spinning crazy dance in 3… 2… )

So this evening, while Monkey played with his new blue Ikea wagon, DaddyO put the 1960′s Playboy jazz LP I just found on the junk hunt on the hi-fi, and I busted out the needles and the drugs, and we started to make a baby.
Maybe.
We hope.
Funny after all the classes we took last time, and the refresher course my nurse just gave me last week, and all the times I used those skills in the, er, office, that when it came down to doing it again….
I HAD COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN EVERYTHING.
That probably also has to do with the stress of the trying to mix the proper doses in the proper needle while having a small blue wagon run repeatedly into my leg.

Chickenpig2 on D is for DominationYou are definitely as much a therapist as a sex worker, although being a therapist would require investing in a whole new wardrobe, not to mention an office with a trickling water feature, soft new agey music, and maybe a fish tank. 
braving_ivf on D is for DominationProof of how complicated we all are. Physical/emotional/mental stuff all collides sometimes. I'm confident they both felt well taken care of, even if it wasn't exactly how they expected to be taken care of when they arrived. 
tzzw on D is for DominationI'm not kidding: 80% of my sessions are like this. Self care! Have fun at Disneyland! :) 
dipitie on D is for DominationWow. You really do have a tough job. You are closer to a therapist than you are a sex worker.
